Interior Equipment
You should always keep the cabin door closed
when operating the air conditioner. If the cabin
door is left open, it could cause the air conditioner
unit to run continuously and not cycle enough to
defrost the coiling condenser. This could cause
the coils to develop enough ice to reduce the unit’s
ability to cool the boat.
The air conditioner is located behind the intake
vent in the starboard aft berth bulkhead, near the
cabin steps. The unit creates condensation that
drips into the pan at the base of the unit. A hose
attached to the pan drains the water to the forward
bilge where it is pumped out by the forward bilge
pump. You should monitor the operation of the
bilge pump and make sure it is operating properly
whenever the cabin air conditioner is activated.
The air conditioner can produce enough conden-
sation to flood the forward bilge if it is allowed to
run for extended periods without the bilge pump
operating properly.
It is normal for some water to be in the condensa-
tion pan whenever the air conditioner has been
used. The pan should be checked periodically to
make sure it is draining properly. The drain hoses,
condensation pan and sump should be flushed
clean if they become restricted by mold or debris.
The intake line for the seawater pump is equipped
with a sea strainer that must be checked for de-
bris frequently and cleaned as necessary. Refer
to the Raw Water System chapter for information
on the air conditioning pump and cleaning the
sea strainer.
You should also refer to the air conditioner owner’s
manual for additional operating and maintenance
instructions.
Notice:
Air conditioners use surface water as a cool-
ing medium. The boat must be in the water
and the raw water supply system must be
properly activated prior to use. Operation
without proper cooling could cause the air
conditioning unit to shut down and could
cause system damage. Always check for
proper water flow out of the air condition-
ing pump discharge thru-hull when the air
conditioner is operating.
